Kam is a 57-year-old man from Burma. He lives with his wife, his son, and his daughter in Mae Sot District, Tak Province, Thailand. He is a hop vendor, while his wife is a homemaker. Both their children go to a migrant school in Mae Sot. On the 4th of April 2026, Kam bought different vegetables from the main shop to sell them by the roadside. On the way to the market, a truck came behind him and suddenly hit him, making him lose consciousness. He woke up at our medical partner's care center, where an x-ray which revealed that his left femur is fractured and he needs surgery for it to heal properly. He is in pain, and he cannot move his left leg. His right arm is also in pain, and he cannot walk or stand up. With the help of our medical partner, Burma Children Medical Fund, Kam will undergo surgery to reset his fractured bones and ensure proper healing. The procedure is scheduled for May 7th and will cost $1,500. This procedure will help Kam to be able to walk and be free from pain so that he will be able to return to his work and support his family. Kam said, "I really need your help at this moment, and I have no one and no money to help me now. Thank you very much for your support."

Yeng is a 61-year-old rice farmer from Kampong Cham province. She is married and has three daughters, one son and six grandchildren. She lives with her husband who is a rice farmer and with her youngest daughter who is a student. She likes to watch funny movies on the TV. About one year ago, Yeng developed a cataract in her left eye, causing her itchiness, tearing, and blurry vision. A cataract is a clouding of the lens of the eye, so it is like looking through a frosty or fogged-up window. She has difficulty seeing things clearly, including colors and faces, and is worried about falling when walking, so is not able to go places on her own. When Yeng learned about our medical partner, Children's Surgical Centre, she traveled for three hours seeking treatment. On May 11th, doctors will perform a phacoemulsification cataract surgery, and an intraocular lens implant in her left eye. After recovery, she will be able to see clearly. Yeng and her family are able to contribute towards the cost of her treatment, but need help raising $228 to fund the surgery. Yeng said, "I hope that after surgery my eye can see clearly, so I can go back to growing rice, and visit places without worry."
